Have you been shopping around for great early Black Friday phone deals in the lead-up to next weekend? Brands like Apple, Samsung, and Google have a handful of promos to take advantage of, but if you’re looking to score the greatest discount possible, allow us to direct you toward this OnePlus 12 offer:

For a limited time, when you order the OnePlus 12 (with 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage), you’ll only pay $550. That may not sound like a huge deal, but consider that this phone usually sells for $800. We tested the phone last April, and our reviewers had the following to say: “The OnePlus 12 is a tremendous smartphone value — and one of the top Android phones to beat in 2024.”

Why you should buy the OnePlus 12

The OnePlus 12 is the Android phone we’ve all been waiting for, and it’s an incredible alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy lineup and Google’s Pixel devices. The OP 12 has a bright and colorful screen, great shell colors to choose from, and some of the fastest and most responsive performance we’ve ever seen from a mobile device. You’ll also be able to enjoy up to two days of battery life, along with lightning-fast wired and wireless charging when it’s time to re-juice!

On top of its 6.8-inch AMOLED display that brings 1440 x 3168 resolution to the table and up to 4,500 nits at peak brightness, the OP 12 has 120Hz refresh rate capabilities, too, which bodes well for those of us who plan on watching movies and playing games on this phone. It has a fantastic camera setup as well, complete with a 114-degree field of view with up to 3x optical zoom!

This deal will last through Black Friday, ending on December 2. It won’t get any better between now and then, so you might as well grab it today. Take $250 off the OnePlus 12 when you purchase through the manufacturer, and be sure to check out our lists of the best phone deals and best prepaid phone deals, too.

As spotted by Android Authority, FCC testing for an unreleased foldable Google phone includes a reference to MediaTek radio-frequency software, adding weight to reports that the Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 could leave Samsung’s Exynos modem behind.

Every previous Tensor chip has used Samsung modem hardware. Changing suppliers won’t guarantee better battery life or reception, but it gives Google a fresh path after years of leaning on the same underlying technology.
